Washington\u2019s claim its military campaign is an anti-drug effort is as fake as \u201ca Hollywood blockbuster plot,\u201d Moscow\u2019s UN envoy has said<\/strong><\/p>\n

Russian Ambassador to the UN Vassily Nebenzia has accused the US of plotting a coup in Venezuela under the guise of an anti-drug campaign.<\/p>\n

Washington has deployed marines and warships off of Venezuela’s coast and has carried out airstrikes on alleged drug-smuggling vessels. At least four boats have been sunk, killing more than 21 people. Caracas condemned the move as a violation of its sovereignty and requested an emergency UN Security Council session, warning the operation sought to topple President Nicolas Maduro and threatened regional peace.<\/p>\n

At the session on Friday, Nebenzia said Russia “strongly condemned”<\/em> the US campaign, calling it “a flagrant violation of international law and human rights.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“We are witnessing a brazen campaign of political, military, and psychological pressure on the government of an independent state with the sole purpose of changing a regime unfavorable to the US,”<\/em> he stated, noting that the coup plot is being carried out “using the classic tools of color revolutions and hybrid wars”<\/em> by “artificially fueling an atmosphere of confrontation.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Washington’s justification for its military action “sounds like a perfect plot for a Hollywood blockbuster”<\/em> in which “Americans once again save the world,”<\/em> but in reality it is pure fiction, according to Nebenzia. He noted that the UN Office on Drugs and Crime “doesn’t even consider Venezuela a drug trafficking hub,”<\/em> as 87% of cocaine entering the US comes via the Pacific Ocean, to which Venezuela has no access.<\/p>\n

“Washington must immediately stop escalating under false pretexts and avoid the irreparable mistake of military action against Venezuela,”<\/em> he urged.<\/p>\n

Other members of the Security Council also called for de-escalation, but US Political Counselor John Kelley insisted that Washington would use its “full might”<\/em> to eliminate Venezuela’s “drug cartels.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The administration of US President Donald Trump has long accused Maduro of ties to drug cartels, labeling him a “narcoterrorist”<\/em> and doubling the reward for his arrest to $50 million. Trump has refused to recognize Maduro’s reelection in 2024 and has openly backed his rival. On Friday, he congratulated<\/a> opposition leader Maria Corina Machado on winning the Nobel Peace Prize, acknowledging prior support for her cause.<\/p>\n
